wayne lapierre that budha, and people are outraged were mostly the liberal media. >> host: the other comment he made wayne lapierre was we have to do something to improve the way we detect and treat mental illness of the kind that clearly was behind adam lanza's actions in newtown. that actually was part of the universal background check proposal that manchin toomey and schumer proposed. to strengthen the validity of the states to use information for mentally ill people and make it available to the fbi for the national check system yet that too failed. >> guest: as did grassley cruz was the alternative. sponsored by ted cruz and the ranking -- judiciary. it didn't have this universal background check and the problem with this via now i say in my book the universal background check is the assault weapons ban of this year. the assault weapons ban was created by anti-gun activists deliberately and we have -- saying people will mistakenly think when we talk about assault weapons that there are automatic weapons, machine guns. that's exactly what he said. they will think it's machine guns

the fact that wayne lapierre on television and in a column short after that said he wants to sit down and fixed the background check system is something those and the gun-control movement and the gun violence prevention movement should take up right away. i think that's one where the rest of us, whether dick heller or paul helmke over martin chavez, interested people event in politics, being in the gun issue for years 10 push them to get to the table. like any other compromise there's a little gift, a little take, that let's get something done that fixes this broken background check system that makes it harder for dangerous people to get guns. that's point number one. point number two is i think we have some potential to do things on the weapons that we consider perhaps too dangerous to have easily, readily available to everyone. this gets in to the whole issue of a so-called assault weapons, semi automatic. it gets to the issue of a high-capacity magazine. we should build it on someone's. why do you want to hold it at 10? my standard issu issues 12 are y standard issues 15 bullets. i

>> guest: i don't speak for wayne lapierre. but i will say why i think bdy manchin and toomey, which we were talking about earlier, amendment couldn't get the votes in the senate is because first of all, you know well the source of guns for criminals is not through private exchanges generally. this is -- you know, they are getting them off the street on these straw purchases. what it a fact is the law abiding. they use the gun show the loophole all the time. and they've interviewed the department of justice interviewed regularly and poll the people in jail and i guess they tell the truth where they get their guns and 1% say it's the gun show. >> host: calling it a gun show loophole is a misnomer i agree because at gun shows there are a lot of licensed dealers. >> guest: i talked to the head of the gun show association and because atf is even more regulating than normal obviously the last few years it is up to about 90% at gun shows pity and i think the gun show loophole is another phrase that was invented to confuse the public

i'm saying now we need to sit down with wayne lapierre and find out how we can find agreement, see if we can find agreement with them to fix the broken background check system. if he is blocking a lease let's find out. if he is going to work, let's get that work done. because the background check system is broken, but just because it's broken doesn't mean we walk away from it. one sender wrote and said he wasn't going to sort the manchin-toomey bill because the system is broken. my reaction is do something to fix it. that's what we need to do. ethics can be complicated. we have to look at the definitions of who we consider a dangerous person. maybe they can be better ways to defined people. we can look at other, how the records get in the system. even if you've got a great definition of dangerousness, if the states are not getting the records in the background check system it doesn't do anybody any good. we need to find better ways to do that. we need to look at how many sales are allowed without doing a background check since on 10 -- background check. that's something that can be fi

now we have wayne lapierre firmly in the saddle and politically it's a very different organization from what it was in 1968 very clearly. it's also been able to raise huge amounts of money and become the most powerful lobby here in washington and it plays basically on the backlash, on people's fears that if crime is rising in the police can't do anything about it, then how are we going to keep ourselves from being robbed, murdered in someone's? we need firearms to defend ourselves. the nra has been playing on that line for many years. >> host: is crime is rising in the 80s and 90s, crack, more sophisticated guns, congress acted again. really only the third time to do a gun-control tape measures. how does that fit into the chronology? >> guest: well, you had the attempted assassination of president reagan. took them 10 years to come around to supporting a stronger entry. he eventually did of course, the brady bill. he would not fit in "the new york times," which i assure everyone in the nra has read about, singing we need some kind of measure the one i signed when as governor of californ
